:(   On my way into work this morning a school bus of all things turned left in front of me on the hywy.   Hit the brakes and swearved,  just clipped the passsenger side fender flair on his back bumper.  Heard the hit but didn't feel anything.

Pulled over and got out.  Bus just kept on cruising up the road.  I waited, thinking he was going to turn around but never did.  Must not have realized I clipped him.

Anyway, anybody got a take off right front flair and marker light for a 97 TJ they are willing to get rid of?  That appears to be my only damage.

I'll send mine to you...but it may be 2 months before they are torn off....or only 1 month if the Jeep quote comes in low enough.

Gotta keep an eye on those school bus drivers. They can be the craziest drivers ever. I remember my driver in highschool was fired, not after running over a stopsign, getting stuck trying to turn around in somebody's front yard (in a nice neighborhood!), using turn lanes to go around traffic and ignoring the laws of the road, but because she failed a random drug test  :shock:

i had a bus driver that decided to put the buss into revers at a stop sing and run into a ford exploder behind us.. it was funny cuz the guy behind us honked the horn when we started to back up and my buss driver floored it...

and another time and another buss driver decided to go at a stop sign and almost flip a van over running into it.. funny thing is it was so close to school that the principle walked to the buss to see if everyone was ok.

A couple weeks ago in Milwaukee, a bus driver blew a red light and T boned a fire truck backing into the station with it's lights on. All this while he was training a rookie who was riding with. They found out he didn't even have a license.

My turn! I had a school bus driver hit me - Here's the story... I wait for a clear spot to pass, (road was marked OK to pass BTW). I was alongside and she decides to make a left turn into my truck. Says she didn't see me. Full size pick up right next to the driver's window!! ?? The highway patrol shows up (it was a state route) - I know I'm getting a ticket when the officer starts flirting with her...  :x  He says I made an improper pass and gives me a ticket... I show him the road dashed yellow 2 lane - he pulls out "the book" and shows me the Ohio revised code - something like you can't pass with x feet of a driveway, side street, etc. I go to court and the judge threw it out... bad news was I ate ~$400 to $600 damage to my truck.

Learned my lesson ->Give 'em room they need it!  :roll:

The Rubis are 1" wider than the stock TJs. You'll need the complete set. Good find. I've been looking for a set for some time now.
